I have created cold wallet address on blockchain.info and than print out paper and delete its copy from laptop. So it is now completely offline. Is this the safest way to store coin, as i think so.

Did you have also printed paper wallet and have it with you. For better protection i have laminated paper and put it in safe.  Cool

dont use just one method to store all your coins is my advice. one mistake = all gone.

my paper wallet was from a live machine, printed off and no problems. im not confident that btc is widespread enough to have a common trojan targetting btc paper wallets.

exportprivkey command from wallet is way safer than online, but its rather hard

vanity generator is safe, and easier

Bitaddress, also very easy, but you might want to run them offline just incase

Your paper wallet made from blockchain.info may be safe if you hide very well however and since you made it from Blockchain.info , your account can always be compromised if they (blockchain.info) get hacked .
It would be better if you use Bitaddress to generate the paper wallet offline and on Live-CD Linux and then you print it to make sure everything is okay .

Yes I have. But most of my paper wallets are BIP38 private keys so I can print a few and keep at different places. Not worry about them being stolen by other people.

I have created paper wallets before. I used an address from bitcoin core and not from blockchain.info wallet. I prefer to use an address which has never been "online".

i'll do it when i have lots of btc, but not now.
your copy on laptop actually vanishes or not, depends on the way u "delete" it.
and your paper wallet still suffer risks like fire, water, mouse, insect,...
i can see u did even try to lower the risk with protection, but in the same time draw more attention from the thieves.
